Objective: To preliminarily evaluate the effectiveness, safety and surgical operability of foldable capsule buckle (FCB) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: It is a prospective clinical case study. Ten patients (10 eyes), with a distance of ≥ 15 mm from the posterior margin of the angular membrane at the location of the fissure, who underwent FCB implantation surgery for RRD at Jinan Mingshui Ophthalmology Hospital from March 2020 to September 2021 were enrolled. The surgical outcome was evaluated by B-ultrasound, fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The surgical efficay and safety were evaluated by the postoperative complications, such as FCB exposure, diplopia, rejection, and eye movement limitation. Results: The mean follow-up time was 1 year (6 months to 2 years). Retinal reattachment was evaluated by B-ultrasound, fundus photography and OCT after operation in 10 patients. One patient with macular retinal detachment had improved visual acuity. 9 patients developed diplopia after operation, but diplopia disappears 1-3 months after operation. One patient still had diplopia 4 months after operation, and FCB was removed 4 months after operation. No retinal detachment occurred after operation, and the symptoms of diplopia disappeared.Conclusion: It is confirmed by this preliminary research that the implantation of the foldable capsule buckle is safe and effective to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a relatively posterior position (≥15 mm from the back of the corneal limbus) with little damage to the ocular and easy to operate, compared with the difficulty and complexity in traditional scleral buckling surgery.

With the aging of population, the changing of lifestyle and the increasing number of ophthalmic emergency patients,Chinese national policies related to ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment are continually promoted, and residents' health awareness are gradually improved, the volume of ophthalmic outpatients and emergency patients continues to increase. It is urgent needed to establish scientific ophthalmic emergency pre-examination and triage criteria, to reasonably allocate medical resources, and to ensure that patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. The relatively mature ophthalmic emergency pre-examination and triage models with the severity of patients' symptoms or physical signs,have been established in foreign hospitals. Currently, there is no unified and authoritative ophthalmic emergency triage criteria in China. The accuracy and clinical applicability of the existing ophthalmic emergency triage models at home and abroad need to be further explored. This article reviewed the ophthalmic emergency triage criteria and application evaluation at home and abroad, and remote emergency triage in ophthalmology, in order to provide a reference for establishing a scientific and effective ophthalmic emergency triage criteria comformed Chinese national conditions, and improving the quality of ophthalmic emergency triage.

Background and Objective: Corneal neurotization is a novel surgical technique used to restore corneal sensation in patients with neurotrophic keratopathy. Neurotrophic keratopathy is a disorder characterized by dysfunction of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve, which provides sensory innervation to the cornea. Without sensation, the cornea is at risk of infection, ulceration, perforation, and ultimately, vision loss. Corneal neurotization has emerged as an innovative technique to reinnervate anesthetized corneas by transferring a healthy donor nerve to the affected eye around the corneoscleral limbus. As the field of corneal neurotization rapidly grows, there is a need to synthesize the existing body of literature on corneal neurotization and identify important areas for further research. In this review, we will discuss neurotrophic keratopathy and its current management strategies, followed by an overview of corneal neurotization techniques, outcomes, surgical considerations, and future directions. Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar searches were conducted to retrieve and analyze relevant original papers and reviews on neurotrophic keratopathy and corneal neurotization up until April 2022.Key Content and Findings: Currently, numerous techniques for corneal neurotization exist, including direct nerve transfers, as well as indirect neurotization via interposition nerve grafts. So far, corneal neurotization has been shown to be highly successful in restoring corneal sensation, improving visual acuity,and improving corneal epithelial health. To date, there have been no significant differences in outcomes between direct versus indirect neurotization techniques, different donor nerves, or autologous versus allogeneic interposition grafts. However, there is some evidence that corneal neurotization procedures may be more successful in pediatric patients.Conclusions: Corneal neurotization shows great promise in treating neurotrophic corneas and represents the first management option to date that addresses the underlying pathophysiological mechanism of neurotrophic keratopathy by restoring corneal sensation. As the use of corneal neurotization continues to broaden, additional studies will become important to compare techniques in a systematic manner, with larger sample sizes, as well as standardized outcome measures and follow-up time.

The corneal transplantation is an effective option for visually impaired patients with keratopathy to restore vision function. However, the success rate of allograft keratoplasty is still very low for those patients with end-stage ocular surface or repeated corneal graft rejection. For those patients, artificial keratoplasty might be a promising alternative option. The efficacy and advantages of artificial keratoplasty have been gradually highlighted, after consistent improvement of the product design and implantation procedure. Nowadays, the Boston type I (collar button) corneal prosthesis is the most widely used product around the world. In this review, the history, indications, postoperative complications and future prospect of Boston type I corneal prosthesis will be summarized.

Objective: To analyze the spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of neuro-ophthalmic diseases from single center, and to provide basis for guiding the diagnosis and treatment of neuro-ophthalmic diseases. Methods: Patients with neuro-ophthalmic diseases admitted to the neuro-ophthalmology ward of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2021 were enrolled. The age, gender, regional distribution and disease subtypes of all included patients were retrieved and recorded from the electronic case system. Results: A total of 7245 patients with neuro-ophthalmic diseases were enrolled, including 3331 males(46.0%)and 3914 females(54.0%), with a male to female ratio of 1:1.2. The average age was 38.2±17.5 years. 83.25%(6031/7245)were afferent nervous system diseases, 9.92% (719/7245)were efferent nervous system diseases and orbital diseases, and 6.83%(495/7245)were not classified. The ratio of demyelinating optic neuritis(DON)was the highest(40.17%,2910/7245), followed by nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy(NAION)(11.37%,824/7245)and traumatic optic neuropathy(TON) (5.15%,373/7245). The ratio of optic nerve atrophy with unknown causes was 7.85%(569/7245). Characteristics of age distribution, the DON and TON were more common in 18-40 age group(the proportion were 48.63% and 44.24%,respectively), the NAION was common in 41-60 age group(66.14%), and the hereditary optic neuropathy was common in younger 18 age group (48.58%). In 2226 DON patients, the proportion of neuromyelitis optica(NMO)/neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder(NMOSD)-optic neuritis(ON)was the highest(60.02%)and myelinoligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody(MOG-IgG)ON was 11.68%, while multiple sclerosis(MS)-ON and chronic recurrent inflammatory optic neuropathy(CRION)were relatively low(1.8% and 2.25%,respectively). In DON patients, the male to female ratio was 1:3.08. In NMO/NMOSD-ON patients, the ratio of male to female was 1:8, and that of MOG-ON was 4:5. In atypical ON, the ratio of male to female was higher than that of female(1.28:1). In DON patients, 81.79% of patients were young and middle-aged, and the proportion of children with MOG-ON(less than 18 years old)was 41.15%.Conclusions: DON and NAION are the two most common diseases of neuro-ophthalmic afferent system.

The retinal nerve fiber layer, the innermost layer of the retina, consists mainly of unmyelinated axons from retinal ganglion cells, as well as glial cells and retinal blood vessels , the thickness of which is related to factors such as age, ocular growth and fundus structure changes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can clearly display the cornea, retina, choroid, optic nerve and other high-resolution tomography images. It can show the fine structure of biological tissues in vivo, which has been widely used in clinical and scientific research. In glaucomatous optic neuropathy, OCT can detect the damage of retinal nerve fiber layer before abnormal visual field, which has become an important means of early diagnosis of glaucoma and detection of the degree of optic ner ve damage. In addition to optic neuropathy, more studies have shown that many retinal diseases such as retinal vascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases also have retinal nerve fiber layer injury. Exploring the relationship between retinal diseases and nerve fiber layer will be beneficial to further promote the understanding of the pathogenesis and pathological changes of retinal diseases. This paper reviews the relationship between the quantitative evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer and various retinal diseases, and provides reference for its application in retinal diseases.

The disease of the posterior visual pathway is a kind of lesion in which the visual pathway itselfor its adjacent structure changes after optic chiasma causes pathological changes, resulting in changes in visual function. Neuro-ophthalmologists are familiar with symmetrical ipsilateral hemianopia caused by occipital lobe lesions, but occipital tip (the last part of the striatal cortex) lesions produce central symmetrical homonymous scotomas, which can easily be overlooked or misdiagnosed. This article reported a case of an olderly male patient treated with decreased binocular visual clarity and distortion. Ophthalmology examination: best corrected visual acuity: 0.8 in the right eye, 1.0 in the left eye; FM-100 examination indicated severe dyschromatopsia; cranial magnetic resonance imaging: infarction of bilateral occipital lobe (right portion of the occipital tip and left anterior portion of striate cortex); 24-2 Humphrey field examination showed a tendency of homonymous scotoma in bilateral eyes (atypical); 10-2 Humphrey field examination showed homonymous hemianopia (scotoma) in the central visual field. These results confirm a diagnosis of the disease of the posterior visual pathway. As an important part of neuro-ophthalmology, the posterior visual pathway can cause various characteristic visual field defects, which can be accompanied by advanced visual dysfunction and other neurological symptoms and signs. The diagnosis and treatment process of this case of occipital tip cerebral infarction with symmetrical homonymous blind spot accompanied by color vision changes suggests that attention should be paid to the diversity of visual field changes and other visual functional abnormalities in the posterior visual pathway lesions, so as to improve the early diagnosis rate and prognosis of the patient s.

The YAMANE intrascleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) is a new technique in recent five years for IOL suspension. This article introduces a modified YAMANE technique including surgical procedure, key points and using experience. In the absence of adequate capsular support, this procedure is minimally invasive, safe, effective and has a fast postoperative recovery. During the follow-up period (up to 5 years), the visual acuity was stable, and there were no complications such as luxation of lens, displacement, tilt of intraocular lens, intraocular lens clamping and IOL haptic exposure.

Recurrent intraocular hypertension caused by contact between capsular tension ring (CTR) and ciliary body is rare clinically. We report a case of recurrent intraocular hy pertension after modified CTR implantation. The IOP returned to normal levels when released the scleral suture. We speculated that the ciliary process irritated by MCTR might increase aqueous humor secretion because of a tight scleral suture.

The microbiome of the ocular surface consists of various microbial communities that colonize on the eye surface, mainly bacteria. The stabilization of the microbiome and the other ocular surface components plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the ocular surface. However, unpredictable changes of ocular surface microbiome are strongly associated with ocular surface diseases in the situation of environmental changes or destruction of immune system. With the innovation of inspection technology, the current gene sequencing technology is applied to detect the ocular surface microbiome and confirm that the eye microbiome is closely related to ocular surface diseases. This paper investigates the corelation of ocular surface microbiomes and diseases. Moreover, we provide areference for the occurrence and development of ocular surface diseases and their treatment.
